Three people pushing a car in Elgin were injured, two of them critically, when another car slammed into their vehicle Thursday night, police said.

Two men were behind a black Ford Mustang, pushing it northbound on Illinois Route 31 between Interstate Highway 90 and Airport Road about 10 p.m. when the car was struck by a white Chevrolet Corsica, according to police spokeswoman Sue Olafson.

The two were taken to area hospitals with critical injuries. A third man who had been pushing the Mustang from the driver's side door appeared to be in good condition, police said.
